Abstract
A characteristic feature of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is an increased risk of neoplasia and colorectal cancer (CRC). The introduction of screening programs, as well as modern advances in therapy and endoscopic technologies, awareness of the risk factors of IBD-associated CRC will contribute to reducing the frequency of this dangerous complication of IBD. The presented review describes epidemiological data on the incidence of IBD-associated CRC, established risk factors for CRC, as well as modern methods of prevention, screening and early diagnosis. Literature search was conducted in PubMed and Google Scholar systems by keywords: inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, colorectal cancer, risk factors, screening, endoscopy, dysplasia.
